Hiring with Intention, Building Culture, & Leading Like a Human with Amy Christopherson
If you’re a business owner who’s thinking about hiring, growing a team, or simply wanting your business to feel more human again — this episode is for you.
This week, I’m joined by Amy Christopherson, an HR expert for small businesses who’s passionate about helping founders build teams, cultures, and systems that actually support real humans — not just productivity or profit.
In this conversation, we zoom out from rigid rules and focus on what it really looks like to grow your business with intention, clarity, and care — especially as a leader.
In this episode, we chat about:
Amy’s journey into business ownership and why she’s so passionate about bringing humanity back into the workplace
What hiring and growing a team really involves as a small business owner
Learning how to trust, onboard, and support people in a way that feels aligned
My personal experiences with hiring in my own business
Why culture matters just as much as skills when building a team
Hiring in a way that supports you doing more of what you love
Understanding the management role you step into when you hire (it’s more than just “getting time back”)
The importance of dedicating time to work on your business, not just client work
Avoiding shiny object syndrome and being intentional with your growth decisions
Getting support in business — from coaches, peers, and trusted people — and why it matters
How Amy uses Human Design in her business, life, and parenting (and the permission it creates)
Ways Human Design and other tools can support you when hiring or leading a team
Recognizing your influence as a leader — especially when hiring younger team members
Navigating cultural and generational differences when you start building a team
Approaching boundaries and tough conversations with clarity and kindness
Setting the standard for what you accept — from clients, employees, and the universe
Giving yourself grace as a business owner, leader, and human
Why staying true to what matters to you is the foundation of sustainable growth
